"Can’t pay enough compliments to John and his guys. They did a great job overall and managed the project very smoothly through the entire permitting process. From the very beginning it was apparent John was detail oriented and most importantly, concerned about delivering a quality product to his customers. John is very hands on, and his approach of shopping with the homeowner to make sure everything will “work” during installation I think is a key component of job success and customer satisfaction. The guys worked straight thru with work only interrupted by permits/inspections. He involved and asked us about anything that came up along the way that we had not previously talked about. Guys were very professional, being respectful of our home and working neatly/efficiently. I highly recommend John without hesitation, and will be using him in the future when we renovate our Master Bathroom."

"The father-son team of Jack and Dominic gave us a great price for a complete remodeling of our bathroom and significant renovation of the kitchen.  The price was inclusive of granite countertop, something that we initially thought would not be within our budget.  Jack and Dominic did all the work themselves.  We found them to be responsible, friendly, and very professional.  They did a great job while in the process keeping our home clean for our family.  They also removed all the trash after they were done.  We really like our new kitchen and bathroom, and would gladly hire Jack and Dominic again for future projects.

"We first invited B&A Construction team to provide an estimate for our new house renovations. Afterward, we showed the home inspection report for the house that we’re trying to sell and Luis was kind enough to stop by on the same day to our house to assess the issues and thoroughly explain what needs to be done. Given his expertise, it was very helpful for us to work with him as the inspection required various types of work, ranging from plumbing, HVAC to electrical. His work was very thorough and timely. Also, he’s very responsive when we text him and pleasant to work with. His price was also reasonable and better than few quotes we’ve gotten from other individual licensed contractors as he offered package deal for various work he has done. We are currently working with him on the new house renovation and he and his team have been very efficient. I can’t wait to see the end results. I highly recommend Luis and his company!"

"I contacted them because I saw they had over 100 reviews. Who gets over 100 reviews? They do. They were on time, clean, efficient and even asked my wife to go over all of their work to ensure it was to her liking before leaving for the day. We had our home power washed and gutters cleaned, and we will certainly call Mr Drake again for more services.

"My entire overall experience w/ David and Jesse was WONDERFUL!  From start to finish.  Dave is a timely and efficient worker w/ his partner Jesse.  they can be taken at their word.  They have a very time managed and organized method.  They come promptly at 8AM when they say they will.  They waste no time every day.  They get immediately to work.  He really is skilled w/ his craft and he has such a calm demeanor and attitude about add on's and questions.  Nothing gets Dave anxious or flustered.  He takes bumps in the road in stride as they come up during home renovations.  
Dave and his partner were respectful of themselves, my home, and my special circumstances as I am very pregnant and I work nights and would try sleeping while they were renovating.  I had one mishap where the dust was making me feel sick and they immediately enclosed the work space every day from that day on so that the dust would not affect me.  They are clean and tidy at the end of each day sometimes taking up to an hour to clean.  I never heard them curse and they bring their own radio and keep the volume low.  
Painting and fixing up decrepid walls in my house was their top strength.  They made old and battered rooms w/ lots of terrible paint jobs and holes look brand new!  Don't think I'll ever paint a room myself again.  Their painting is too beautiful compared to my own job.  They also did great work w/ the ceiling as they closed up a large attic entrance over my stairwell and placed a new one in my hallway w/ a pulldown stairs.  It came out beautiful and its sealed.  I don't feel any hot draft coming from my attic.  
They know how to hang light fixtures and ceiling fans correctly, but they're not electricians and they tell you that up front.  
Their work is great.  I will be using them again and again for all of my home fixing needs.  
And, best of all, is that his rates are very very fair.  I had 3 estimates come to my house for the work and Dave's prices were the most fair and reasonable.  He doesn't mark up for supplies and he tells you that.  its true.  Highly recommend!

"I’ve used Brian before and I know how good Big B’s is. His estimates are fair AND accurate, which is rare in this business. Brian, Jeff and Matt came in and did everything in the four days they estimated and for the cost they estimated. I would recommend Brian to anyone. He’s the only person I would use for painting or handyman work in my home. If there’s a problem, he owns the problem and addresses it rather than shifting responsibility elsewhere."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.

But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.

Renovating or remodeling an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That’s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch.

Whether a prefab home is worth it or not will depend on your personal needs and preferences. Overall, prefab homes tend to cost less than traditional homes, although they also tend to have lower resale values. Another thing to consider is that prefab homes usually last 50 to 60 years or longer, while traditional homes last 50 to 100 years or more.

The average build timeline for a home is between six and 12 months, with timelines pushing toward the upper end of that range if you’re creating a custom design or need a lot of land preparation before getting started. Hiring a general contractor or a custom homebuilder will help speed up the process, as you’ll see fewer delays between different parts of the build process getting done.
